Prompt Engineering for Software Practitioners

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 - 8:30am to 12:00pm

With the sudden rise of ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs), practitioners are using these tools for all aspects of engineering. This includes leveraging LLMs for creating software artifacts such as requirements documents, source code, and tests; reviewing them for issues and making corrective suggestions, and analyzing or summarizing results or outcomes. However, if LLM's are not fed good prompts describing the task that the AI is supposed to perform, their responses can be inaccurate and unreliable. Join Tariq King as he teaches you how to craft high-quality AI prompts and...

Testing Powered by AI/ML Synthetic Test Data: A Game Changer

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 - 11:00am to 11:45am

The session covers a testing approach that utilizes a new age Test Data Management (TDM) technique which learns from production data. Machine learning analyzes the data to create a model capable of generating synthetic data with identical source data attributes. Multiple learning iterations refine the model, enhancing its accuracy with each cycle. The data model incorporates security measures like differential privacy, enabling safe movement to lower environments. Later, generative AI leverages this model to produce desired volumes of test data for various testing types, including...
